No idea. I was just getting it fixed for the maintainer while waiting for
something else to build.
BTW do you happen to know who is the current maintainer of this driver
(ditto for other PATA drivers)?
MAINTAINERS lists only:
SERIAL ATA (SATA) SUBSYSTEM
P: Jeff Garzik
M: jgarzik@xxxxxxxxx
L: linux-ide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/libata-dev.git
S: Supported
F: drivers/ata/
F: include/linux/ata.h
F: include/linux/libata.h
but this driver surely ain't SATA.
FWIW, I've been treating Alan as "PATA sub-maintainer", and tend to wait
for an Alan review of a PATA driver patch before applying it [unless
it's blindingly obvious or Bart chimes etc.].
But yes, overall, libata is certainly not SATA-only anymore, and
MAINTAINERS should reflect that.
Maybe a patch like the attached? (DaveM CC'd, since I modified the
old-IDE entry as well)
